Hi, recently traded my 97 GT for a 98 Cobra and last week my battery was dead(on the cobra), I brought it in and charged it overnight. next morning i put my meter on it and it was completely dead so I bought a new one.
After I get back with the battery and go to put it on I run into the first problem :both of my battery wires are black, both connectors same size, instead of one bigger/smaller... ya you guessed it I put it on the wrong way .... sparks fly. Hook it up the right way and my battery light is on the whole time. car drives a little while and completely dies so I checked/changed fuses and charged the new battery up, put it back & car cranks but dies quickly - guess I fried alternator
So I change the alternator out and now the car won't start at all - checked fuel line @ front - No gas. Spray ether and car cranks fine but dies if gas is pressed. Checked Inertia switch and it's fine so I determine the pump is not working - it does not do anything when the key is in the ON position. I change the fuel pump and filter for good measure.
Car still won't crank, I hear the new pump kick on if the key is turned to on, I'm getting 12 volts @ sending unit - and all the fuses are good there is some gas getting to front but it's not shooting out like normal if you press the relief valve... any advice??
